Young chicks are fun to watch.
Right now I have one of my old girls that is a[Rhode Island White] that is on her last leg I think. She is still doing okay but has poopy butt; I have cleaned her twice but we have not gotten rid of it yet which leads me to believe she is bound up....
Keeping a close eye on her and cleaning...ya ain't lived till ya washed a shitty chicken butt!!

I really enjoy watching my new flock grow. They have started getting a pretty big comb and tail feathers.they are still really skittish around me. I guess for good reason . Next few days a couple roosters will be going to aldeer backyard chicken great beyond.

My ol' roo keeled over daid about a week and a half ago.
Let the hens out for a little while this morning, and in about 10 minutes they'd torn a 10x10 patch of clover worse than hogs could have! I'd have never thought 8 hens could tear up the ground like they did!
Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something.
Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby...
I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

Question, my coop has a sliding door for the sleeping quarters. This week, as the chicks go to bed, I go close the door. Should I do this or leave it open? If no predators can get to them without the door shut, I would leave it open for air circulation. However, if something could get to them by all means shut it.

Well, shite. Had to take out an egg bound hen this afternoon and that just plain sucks. If you know anything, you know once they are well and truly egg bound there is no hope. This ole hen has been babied and had her hiney washed more that any hen wants but we just could not get things to work.
To be humane and put her on out of her misery we took her out this afternoon. Thank goodness hubby was around to do the deed and told me to go away and not watch.
Never easy to take any life but it was the humane thing to do since she could not even get on the roost any longer.
Compared to the hive burning that has gone on with Fur this is no thing but never easy.

I had a coon get into the chickens Sat. night. I put my special "Kool Aid" out last night. Oh dear they can do some real damage in a short period of time.
